reason of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Partnership may be deemed to be a
"beneficial owner" of such shares. The Partnership expressly disclaims
beneficial ownership of the common stock. Each client has the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, such shares purchased for his account. To the knowledge of
the Partnership, no person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, a number of such
shares which represents more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock
referred to in Item 4(b) hereof.
This Schedule 13G is not being filed with respect to the shares of common
stock which may be owned by general partners of the Partnership, or by their
respective spouses, or as custodian or trustee for their respective family
members or by their respective family foundations, since the Partnership does
not possess or share voting or investment power with respect to such shares.
Each of such general partners disclaims, pursuant to Rule 13d-4, that he is
the beneficial owner, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3, of the shares of
common stock owned by the various parties referred to in this Schedule 13G,
other than such shares as the respective general partner owns of record.
